Tauree Thompson, 28, was double-parked and standing outside of his idling vehicle in front of the Taco Bell on Liberty Avenue near 120th Street around 9:45 p.m. Monday night when three suspects hopped into the luxury SUV and tried to swipe it. Thompson clambered onto the car’s roof just in time for the SUV to slam into a pole roughly 200 feet away, sending Thompson flying some 60 feet before coming to a stop on the pavement.
“He landed all the way over there, bounced three times and did like a baseball slide on his face,” a shaken eyewitness told the New York Post.
